Bug#524330: file-roller: cannot handle some file names in zip archives

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.22.4-2
Severity: important


File Roller cannot unpack, move, or rename a file with a name starting with
a dash followed by space, for example "- index", in a zip archive. Though,
it can open such archives, and display the file list.

unzip can do the job. Extracted files can be opened on the Gnome desktop.
